During the project intake process all projects are considered critical, all others never get approved. So how do you decide which “critical” projects are most critical? These decisions are typically made politically, emotionally or without consistency.

The Impact:

  • Poor resource utilization
  • Frustrated resources
  • Projects not aligned with strategic objectives
  • Higher risk and lower ROI

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar demonstrating a balanced approach to prioritizing initiatives. Projects affect many aspects of your business; all factors should be considered when taking on a new project. Learn the prioritization secrets of successful companies using a Project Portfolio Management mentality.

The Result:
